"Tito has done more f---ing to damage his career, his image and his f---ing life than any fighter I've ever met, and that's her manager," said White. "They come out in this press conference and say, 'She will die. She will die if she goes to 135. … So I'm going to go before an athletic commission and say I want to make the fight between Ronda Rousey and f---ing Cyborg Santos at 135 pounds?"

Today Ortiz announced he is stepping down as her manager, in a statement made on "Inside MMA."

I can live with Dana not liking me but what I can’t live with is Dana using me to hurt someone else. I’ve taken abuse and maybe I deserved some of it but Cris is a beautiful person and great athlete and doesn’t deserve to be insulted like this.

I don’t understand how Dana lets his hatred towards me hurt the UFC and the fans by not making this fight.

He accuses her of still using banned substances and say that she isn’t worthy of fighting Ronda yet a year ago he personally called me to make the fight happen.

I never said she would die if she made 135- we just repeated what the Dr said that Cris shouldn’t make a career at 135- we offered a 3 fight deal they said no 7 fights or no deal.

Regardless – I won’t stand in the way from the fans getting a fight they want and I won’t hold Cris Back. So I’m stepping down as Cris’ manager

Now he can’t hold that against her-

I’m also tired of Dana accusing Cris of using banned substances. I challenge you to put up or shut up- Test her or stop lying about her- Cris is a beautiful woman inside and out- don’t insult her on her looks- she may be tough as nails but she still has feelings.

I know people are going to say there goes Tito making this about him again- but it’s not -it’s about Cris Cyborg- the baddest woman on the earth – soon to be multi-sport world champion.

/threadSo damn sick and tired of the excuses. You can love or hate Ronda, but at least she makes weight and is there to fight. Its already been well documented the lengths the UFC tried to go to in order to get Cyborg fights as well as get to 135 for a epic showdown and SHE walked. So quit w this bullshit of how it is Dana's fault the fight never happened when the blame is squarely on Tito and Cyborg's massive shoulders. And there is a ton to bitch about regarding Dana, but how he handled this def is not one of them.

I promise you, Cyborg cannot make 135. I've been seeing her at the gym a lot lately as she preps for Lion Fights. She is working really hard and looks every bit of 170. The chick is big, and she has Ben Henderson legs. That weight doesn't come off easily, steroids or not. And to be honest, I think she destroys Ronda so effortlessly. Her striking is easily the best in women's MMA, and her strength allows her to suplex men her own size. Everyone is so convinced that if Ronda clinches her it's throwing time, but I think that Cyborg would suplex her out of the fucking cage.

Props to Tito for being super classy human being.Makes Dana look bad.Tito has always been the best with the fansa ane when people meet him. He is a good person. Just made some dumb mistakes marrying the mother of his children and not beingthe best at public speaking. But his agenda is right an so he can also write better than he speaks. He is a fighter and not a promoter.
